The Allied States of Amperslander is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 354 million Amperslanderians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Amperslanderian economy, worth 21.7 trillion Mini Mints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,246 Mini Mints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and the Amperslanderian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amperslander's national animal is the Poyo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amperslander is ranked 224,567^th in the world and 23^rd in Amperregion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
